Is there a public interface to load a kernel module from user space?
Looking at the modload source, it seems to use the modctl() system call
but I see no man page for that.
(At this point it's a matter of curiosity, since I noticed that the
Xorg code to load a kernel module for DRI is stubbed out on Solaris.
It seems to work as is, but I've just seen a code review go by on the
xorg-devel mailing list for some changes that might require us to
support it in the future. The equivalent BSD code is a simple call
to kldload():
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/bsd_kmod.c
while the Linux code does a fork/exec of the modprobe command:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_kmod.c
)
There is always "modload(1M)". I'm not aware of any *public* system calls.
